About the day
The Unified GCC Traffic Week is an annual road safety campaign run by traffic authorities in the Gulf Cooperation Council states. It aims to raise awareness of road safety and encourage responsible behaviour among drivers and pedestrians.
The 38th edition in 2026 ran under the theme "I Cross Safely". In Oman, where the Royal Oman Police led the programme, it ran from 3 to 7 May. In Qatar, the Ministry of Interior's General Directorate of Traffic ran events from 3 to 8 May, combined with World Traffic Day and Arab Traffic Week.
